FIRST BASEMAN JAKE DAUBERT SECOND-BASEMAN MORRIS RATH CINCINNATI REDS REIGN FAVORITE j , - r FOR VICTORY IN 1919 BIG SERIES y ' - ; By LOUIS A. DOUGHEB. y l)-With.4ke worldJs erias. to be nine games and' starting: probably Ogjbobgr"l;' two "weeks from" TVednesday still tbe players remain in the dark as to the profits accruing ,to. them for their earnest endeavors. Nobody seems possessed of the National Commission bulletin alleged to give.' this palpitating information, but no complaints are being heard vfrom either the camp of the Chicago White Sox or that of the Cin cinnati Reds. Judging from what vre know of big league ball players, there will be no kick about playing nine games instead of seven, provided the athletes' end of the big melon is substantially increased. The pennant winners care little for the glory, though it must-be admitted that some of them do xare a little teeny-weeny bit, but the financial split is the big: thing, make no mistake about that. -we can't bat 'em In nine came, wejian't beat 'em in seven" fa all Kid Gleason had to say while here the oXher'day on being: told that the iiise-game series had been adopted Jbythe magnates. "We'll be out there, Xio'matter how many eames are need ier.5 We'll also win a majority, too. unless my sruess is very, very wrong:." jftt makes no difference to us," Pat Mosfan said in Cincinnati, "because wejve cot the. team to win. bnt a long er series seems fairer to the fans. Lot' of fellows who could see only one sjne f ormerly can set off work lone cnojigh to see two, and many a good lad who mig:ht not have been able to Btfi. any games at all will now hare a. chance to- see one, anyway." Seda are Fsrrorites. because many fans have Ions: .mem erles. the Cincinnati Reds already rule favorites for the 1913 world's series. Not since 1903 has a world's feeries consisted of nine frames, but close followers of base ball know that the Boston Americans won from Pittsburgh largely because f their greater number of available pitchers. TBe Pirates had really only two. pitchers. Sam Leever and "Deacon" PhilliDDe. Bill Kennedy was of small use. while Ed Doheny, winner' of .18 oat of 27 games during the sea sou', did not Jiitch at alL Vail and RAGE TODAY AT HAVRE DE GRACE 7 RACES DAILY ig a Steeplechase lvania Railroad Jjock.

Tom Hughes led a grand march in South Boston the night before the series opened and failed to show up until the games were well under way, throwing all th-work to "Uncle" Cy Young and Bill Dineen. George Win ters and Norwood Gibson did not fig ure in the series, but "Bill Dineen practically won the -title by himself. Pittsburgh hopped away to a 7 to 3 win in the opening game in Boston, lost the second, 3 to-0. and copped the third. 4 to 2. Then the scene shifted to Pittsburgh, where the next four games were played. The Pirates won their third game of -the series at Pittsburgh on October 6 by a score of 5. to 4. That cooked their pitching staff and tle Boston club, with Bill Dineen- outdoing him self in every way, raced away to a triumph. By winning, 11 to 2 and 6 to "3, Bos ton tied the count at three wins apiece. Then, before 17.038 fans, the second largest attendance of the sc ries,' the Bostonians won their fourth victory, 7 to 3, and went back to Bos ton for the final clash. A victory for the Pirates would have tied the count and, put them in. the running, but their overworked twirlers' cracked and the Bostonians. to the tune of "Tes sie." won the world's title at the old Huntington Avenue Park, 3 to 0'. Somewhat like the Boston Ameri cans ofl0O3. the Cincinnati Reds of 1919 "have-more available twirlers for the blue ribbon reries about to get under way. They have Hod Eller. a horse for work; yv alter Keutber. a big, powerful southpaw. Slim Sallee, a veteran southpaw, and a choice of Adolfo Luaue. Ray Fisher, or Jimmy Ring' for a fourth start or for relief work. Kid Gleaepn can depend only upon .Eddie ;CIcotte and Claud .Williams, though he will have to start Dick Kerr and possivly Bill James. Ur ban Faber. ttar of the 1917 series, is saldto be so weak aftechls serv ice at Great Lakei as to be? of no possible account f r the Reds' series. ' Reds Are Beaeated. Over the nine-game route -the-.Reds are benefited by their greater number of available .seasoned pitchers; .Start ing Slier. Sallee and Rcuther In or der, for instance, one of them will be facing the White Sox with a second string twlrler on the mound, it it is necessary, both T3Uer and .Reuther can come back with two days of rest and prodiicb firsr-clasa pitching. -This fa doubtful in the cases of Cicotte and WHIiams. Kid Gleason is certain to' hare his troubles ip the box. t Eddie Cicotte and Claud Williams should produce wonderful pitching, bnt after them come inost ordinary dingers in Bill James, Dick Kgrr, Grover Lowder mllk, and Ersk'ine Ma.ycr. In previous world's series it has been found that pitching Is the big thhig. It transcends batting and fielding strength, while usually base running amounts to little or npthlng. The "old army game" la staged day; Here Are Prices For Big Series y Here are the prices for the world .series tickets, as announc ed in Cincinnati. No single seat tickets will be sold.

ELI UN FOR TITLES IS SCHEIE NEW TORK. Sept. 15. Elimination series which will determine the fight ers to meet the present crown hold ers of the various divisions will be started here Tuesday night, February 3, when the newly organized Inter national Sporting Club, will bold its inaugural show. The cards have been arranged by the club's matchmaker, Tex Rlckard, and they will bring together all the contenders in the professional ranks, the hew Industrial class and the army and navy. For a heavyweight army champion ship belt donated by Major Drcxel Blddle, president of the club, six round bouts will be fought on the opening night between Captain Rop er and Sergt. Al Roberts; Sergeant Krohn and E. Lincoln; Sergeant Jack Burke and Sergeant Bob Martin; Private G. Tunney and Jack Clancy. The winner will be stacked against the British army champion for a belt donated by Major General Wood. A similar needing out process will be conducted among navy contestors for the Admiral William Sims belt. . Then Come ailddJerrelghta. The first heat in the middlewe.ght division will be held Tuesday night, February 10. for a belt presented by the club. In six round bouts Mike Gibbons will fight Jeff Smith; Jimmy Clabb will mix with C. Wiggins; George K. Brown against J. Clarke, and .Battling Ortego against a selec tion. The second heat will be fought on February 12. the semi-finals on thinking that seven games would be February 21. and the survivor will after day neither team being willing to take any chances. It Is because of -this well-known fact that baseball writers.. who might have favored the White Sox in seven games, have cooled off and believe Pat Moran has a chance of winning his first championship of the world by taking hfa Cincinnati Reds, over the jumps ahead of the Chicago White Sox. Odds Hare Shifted Nott. When It was seen that the White Sox would battle the Reds, wise gents In New York and Chicago, WHERE ZACHARY GOT HIS IN LESS THAT! A FRAME Detroit. Ab.H.Po.A.

But as soon as the nine-game series was announced, they pulled back these figures and shifted to 10 to 9 on the Reds. So far as known, it will be 10 to 9 on Pat Sorans' lads on the opening day of e series. Wagers will probably be many on the individual games. Here the odds will hang wholly upon the pitching possibilities. It Is likely that If Cicotte faces Eller In the first game oven money will reign. The same figures will probably be seen for the second contest, if Williams is facing Reuther or Sailcc. but thereafter many things will militate to make guessing now a hazardous pastime. Cincinnati fandom has quite lost all its sense of judgment Rcdland hugs can se.e only 'victory for Pat Moran and the Reds. It is probable that thousands will be wagered by loyal rooters In Cincinnati on the outcome of the big series. Little talk is heard hire of attend ing the series. Both Cincinnati and Chicago seem to be too far away for most Washingtonlans Perhaps a handful of men connected with tho Washington club will ce a game or two, but. there will be no hegtra of fans. Indeed, most Washingtonlans will follow the series in The Wash ington Times, getting all the dope and news they'll waht for a paltry sum- daily. OLDVliaiERS .TO PLAT.

O'DEA KILLS FINE FIRST EXHIBITION "Old Killjoy" James O'Dea, baron of Georgia avenue, got in bad during the seventh Inning at the ball park yesterday, when he stopped a perfect ly good exhibition of the fistic art be tween a couple of Jack Dempseys or Jess Willards. Biff, bang, and two fans were at It in the left field pavilion. Jabs, jolts and uppercuts, with now and then one from the'ground, put the big crowd In excellent humor. Soldiers from the Firt-t division began to think themselves still in Coblenz when "Kill joy" O'Dea appeared. He stopped the belligerents and- hustled them out of the park just when the fans were be ginning to bocomfe interested. --' -- JAMES IS THROUGH.

Twenty games- have now been com pleted between the Tigers and Griffs, the Jungaleers copping their twelfth yesterday. 9 to 4, In a horrible exhi bition before a big mob of bugs. Tiny Baker, the Richmond short stop, was In for a trial. Ty Cobb ended that in the second by spikin? the youngster at second base. But Griff shot two of his newest sand-lot .twirlers into the rough going, Tad rischer and Catsup Snyder. Fischer's stagger tread availed him well, that brickyard infield in front of Shanks being responsible for Cobb's run in the eighth. Snyder's chain tread was successful in the ninth,, the Tigers doing nothing. The game? Horrible, horrible, o' deah. Let's not think about It.
